G. G_Here are my troubles. I

a married man for over two years.
He is older than I but seems to
care for me. I don’t think I love
him. Now everyone in town knows
about us and I am not popular
any more with young boys. They
only stare at me. Please tell me
what I should do?
An: Leawe the married man a

Your flirtation has caused you to
lose nearly all of your friends as
they refused to associate with
you while you ran around with
his man. They will welcome you
back as one of the gang if you ad

ECONOMIC
HIGHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect the

dual National and International
Problems Inseparable from Local
I Welfare
i Last winter it was pretty gen
erally believed that what the
i economicists. who have a langu
age all their won, call a “correc
tive recession, “would occur in
the spring or summer of 1947.
This prediction was based on the
theory that savings were dwindl
ing. that resistance to high prices
would force a downturn. that
j the reat portwar spending orgy
; couldn’t last, that a more or less
serious increase in the total of
people unemployyed , was inevit
able, and that some of the water
had been squesszed out of the
economy.
Spring has passed and sum
mer has come and these fore
casts have proven close to 100
per cent wrong. Prices are high
er than ever, but buying remains
at a very staisfactory levels. Sav
I ings have declined and war bonds
have been cashed, at a high rate.
But there is plenty of money a
round. business frofits are ex-,
cellent. more than 60,000.000
people are employed, the stock
market has been showing signs
of new life and labor’s earnings
have enerally kept pace with
| price increases and in some in
| stances, notably caol, have far
I outrun them. The “recession”
may be just around the corner.
I but it certainly isn't heie yet.
There are certain black spots
in the picture. As an example,
j construction seems to be one
| place where resistance to high
prices is really holding spending
to a minimum. Home construc
tion is practically dormat—pros
pective builders are warv of
starting projects whose estimat
ed cost may be $10,000 or $12,000
and whose final cost may run
well over $20,000. On the other
hand, there is a good deal of ex
pand. whether they want to or
not. in order to protect their com
j petitive position and fill their
orders.
Retail sales go up and down
within a narrow rangs. but show
no signs of a serious decline. Ex*
ception to this is sales of luxury
goods, such as jewelry, which are
well under last year. But all the .
staples, necessities and semi- ]
necessities are finding a ready
market.
1 It might be expected that this
situation would result in a feel
ing of confidence in indusrial,
arricultural and governmental
circles. But it has not. Many of
the economists are convinced |
that the country would be a lot
better off in he long run if the j
‘•recession’’ had occurred on
schedule. They fear that we J
may be heading toward a major
bust and a peal economic de
pression. Furthermore, the enor
mous. unprecented amounts of
money that are floating around
are a poor indicator of prosperity
these days. For instance, farm
income this year will be close
to three times what it was be
fore the war. But the combina
tion of increased taxes, labor
costs, and feed and material
prices has absorbed most of J
what otherwise would have been
profit. And the factory worker
whose pay is at a high of $50
a week finds that it buys only
as much as $25 bought in 1940.
Generally speaking, the price
outlook is for further increases.
The last boost given coal miners
will push up the price of steel
some $5 a ton. And when the
price of steel goes up, the price
of a long list of manufactured
goods must follow. This will un
doubtedly result in new wage de
mands by other manufactured
goods must follow. This will un
doubtedly result in new wage de
mands by other groups of workers j
If those demands are granted,
prices will take another leap
forward. So it goes in the wage
price spiral. -

INCREASE IN TRAFFIC
ACCIDENTS LEADING TO
INCREASE DEATH
July traffic accidents in Nebr.
claimed 22 lives, bringing the
state's highway fatalities for the
first seven months up to 167 as
compared to 28 for July of last
year and 142 for the first seven
months of last year, Captain C.
J. Sanders, Nebraska Safety
Patrol, reported Friday.
With a thought of last August,
in which more people were kill
ed than in any ether month of
1946, and the steady incresase in
deaths this year. Captain Sand
ers urged motorists to keep
their speed down and avoid pass
ing when cars are -approaching
from the opposite direction. These
violations along with the heavy
tourist traffic have accounted for
a large number of traffic acci
dents.

A great many people have not
shared in the fruits of the post
war boom, and are in a much
worst economic position than in
prewar days. People living on
fixed incomes have, of course,
taken the worst beating of all
—their purchasing power has been
cut by half or more while their
dollar income has remained con
stant. Government workers have
suffered—the modest cost of liv
jn. And the high-salaried people
are hit so hard by taxes that
they hkve much less to spend
than in other, simpler times.
The great current fear is that
we will have a depression with
high prices. That has never hap
pened in this country before. It
has happened abroad and the re
sults have been catastrophic. Thc
best minds in industry and gov
ernment are working overtime
trying to think of ways to pre
vent it.
In a revaeling article in the
Staurday Evening Post, Demaree
Best writes: “In 1945 there was
hope that our $3,750,000,000 loan
would be sufficient for Britain’s
critical first five postwar years.
Today it is apparent that it will
take many more billions and
probably twenty more years, be
fore the British Empire can get
along without our help.”
Mr. Best believes that it is es
sential that we give this help
—that it is ridiculous to pour
money into such small countries
as Greece and Turkey unless at
the same time we prevent econ
omic collapse of Britain. Eng
land, he says, is still the third
most powerful nation in the
world today. And, as every school
child knows, England is also our
most dependable major ally in
our economic and diplomatic con
flict with the Soviet Union.
Housing is as scarce as ever
in New York City. Example: One
landlord asks—and is sure he can
get—a premium of $1,500 for let
ting a vecant $110-a-mnoth
apartment in Brooklyn.

(Swift Raiaarch UbordwiM)
I have heard many older women
remark that today’s method of
feeding babies is entirely different
from that used when they were
raising children. Well, that is very
true ... modern knowledge of nu
trition has brought about many,
many changes in infant feeding.
At the beginning of the century,
it was the practise to feed children
practically nothing but milk until
the second or third year. As m re
sult, the growth of many infants
was retarded—and they were dou
bly susceptible to disease. In 1928,
vegetable feeding was begun about
the eleventh or twelfth month. To
day, however, vegetables are fre
quently fed when the infant is
three months or younger, because
they supply needed vitamins and
minerals . . . add bulk to the diet
and offer new food experiences.
Like vegetables and cereals,
meat, too is being fed earlier now
than ever before. It has been
proved that babies can easily digest
meat at a very early age. w
The main reason for delaying
meat feedings has been the great
amount of time and care required
to prepare meat properly for in
fants. But mothers of today are
very fortunate . . . specially pre
pared, strained, canned mea.Is row
available. This meat is prepared
especially for babies . . . strained
for small babies and diced for older
children... it is made according to
doctor’s specifications and is ap
proved by the American Medical
association. Ask your own doctor
about these meats . . . he’ll kno*
best at what age your baby is ••eadj
f.,i their inclusion in his diet.
Refinishing Cabinets
If the old finish of a metal kitchen
cabinet is not scratched or chipped,
a thorough cleaning to remove any
traces of greasy film, followed by
a light rubbing with very Ann sand
paper to dull the gloss of the old
enamel, should be sufficient prepa
ration for refinishing. After wiping
with turpentine or mineral spirits,
apply one or two coats of enamel
undercoater, in accordance With the
manufacturer’s directions on the
can, and finish with a coat of
enamel of the desired tint.
American Meat Packing
From a humble beginning 308
rears ago, meat packing has grown
o become one of the. nation’s larg
!st industries. Meat packers in the
United States produce more than 20
million pounds of meat annually.
From five million farms and
ranches in every state the meat
packers purchase 127 million cattle,
ralves, hogs and sheep to make into
(teaks, roasts, stews, sausage items
and canned meat, as well as utiliz
ing by-products for many pharipa
eeutical and manufacturing items.
Meat Packing Industry
The start of commercial meat
packing in North America can be
traced to 1641 when a square-rigged
ship sailed from Boston harbor with
a cargo which a handful of New
England colonists hoped could be
sold to West Indies plantation own
ers. Capt. John Pynchon,^Spring
field, Mass., and a few farm® neigh
bors had consigned hogsheads of
beef and pork, packed in salt, to
England’s colonies.

iYou Can Serve Top Notch Shore Dinners
At Home If You Star Quick-Frozen Fish
NOW that quick-freezing has
made it possible to obtain
ocean-fresh flsh no matter how far
you live from the sea, you can serve
luscious shore dinners right at
home. - Such famous quick-frozeh
Shoreline treats as cod and red
perch fillets come from their pack
ages all ready to cook, all chores of
cleaning and trimming done before
qulck-freeslng sealed in their deli
cious flavor'within tour hours after
the fishing boats docked.
One of the most important chefs'
tricks to give variety to flsh menus
is to use sauces and garnishes.
With boiled flsh. tor instance, cel
ery sauce, egg sauce, tomato sauce
or cheese sauce may be used. Fish
is baked with vegetables or vege
table sauce—such as. tomato sauce,
white sauce topped with crumbs
and grated cheese, or a creole mix
ture of vegetables. Tartare is one
of the most popular sauces to serve
with fried flsh.
With broiled flsh. parsley and
melted butter and sliced or quar
tered lemon are always appetizing
and eye appealing. A border of
cucumber slices with the skin on
makes a colorful garnish. Vary this
by placing a slice of radish on the
center of eacfi slice of cucumber.
Sliced tomatoes or tomato wedges?
esch accented with a sprig Of water
cress. are colorful as garnish tor a
fish platter. And so are broiled or,
grilled tomato halves or slices. Crisp
radishes, cut into roses If you have
time, are another 'delicious _ amt
edible garnish.
